Frequently asked questions

Women become surrogates for a variety of deeply personal reasons. Many are motivated by a desire to help others build the families they dream of. Some have friends or family members who struggled with infertility and want to give that gift to others. Surrogates also receive meaningful financial compensation, which can help with personal goals like paying off student loans, buying a home, or saving for their own children's education. Most surrogates describe the experience as one of the most rewarding things they've ever done.

To qualify as a surrogate with BabiesSprouts Surrogacy, you generally must be between 21 and 38 years old, have had at least one uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, maintain a healthy BMI (typically between 18 and 30), be a non-smoker and drug-free, and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Each application is reviewed individually, and some requirements may be flexible depending on your overall health profile.

Surrogate compensation at BabiesSprouts Surrogacy starts at $50,000 or more for first-time surrogates, with experienced surrogates earning significantly more. In addition to base compensation, surrogates receive a comprehensive benefits package that may include monthly allowances, maternity clothing allowance, housekeeping support, and reimbursement for pregnancy-related expenses. Total compensation packages can range from $60,000 to over $100,000 depending on experience and circumstances.

No. In gestational surrogacy—which is the only type BabiesSprouts Surrogacy facilitates—you have no genetic connection to the baby. The embryo is created using the intended parents' egg and sperm (or donor gametes) through IVF and then transferred to your uterus. You are providing a safe and nurturing environment for the baby to grow, but the child's DNA comes entirely from the egg and sperm providers.

No. All expenses including Egg Donor compensation, all Egg Donor medical costs, insurance and travel expenses are covered.

While a single donation cycle takes only a few weeks, the full journey—from application to final follow-up—can span several months. Our team is here to guide and support you through every phase.

The first step is to have a consultation scheduled with our IVF specialists to discuss the IVF treatment plan and process for your individual case. This would be the time when more specific questions about your unique experience would be raised. For example, you might want to ask the physician about what screening tests are needed for you as intended parents. Do you need an egg donor or sperm donor? Is there a concern for disease or illness in your family history that is of concern? Any of these types of questions would help determine what is needed for your journey to be as successful as possible.

As with many medical journeys, the length of time will vary with each one. Because there are many factors that can affect the course of a journey, there is no set time. Generally, the timeline we most commonly see is below:
✅Embryo Creation: After determining the needs of our Intended Parents, the embryo will need to be created for use with your surrogate. If you are using an egg donor, the egg donor will go through steps such as medical screening and signing a legal agreement. Then, a complete stimulation cycle for the egg retrieval will need to take place, regardless of the egg’s source (Donor or Intended Parent). This process can take an estimated 3 months. Once eggs are retrieved and sperm have been collected, our lab will use these materials to create your embryos. This process and biopsy analysis will take around 7 days.
✅Finding The Right Surrogate: Because finding your surrogate can be a lengthy process, we recommend looking for your Surrogate as soon as possible. On the surrogate’s side, the surrogate will need to perform a number of steps such as medical screening and signing a legal agreement. This part of the journey’s time can vary greatly; this is why we recommend using a Surrogacy Agency to help expedite the process.
✅Embryo Transfer: When it comes to a Surrogate’s Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle, each case can vary due to several factors. In a typical scenario, the embryo transfer procedure usually takes place between days 19 and 21 of the Surrogate’s menstrual cycle. This is followed by a pregnancy blood test approximately 10 days post-implantation. We will continue to follow up with the Surrogate until the 10 weeks OB ultrasound. After 10 week’s OB ultrasound, the Surrogate will be discharged to her OB’s care.

Some surrogates do not get pregnant on the first cycle, which may mean going through another cycle of IVF.

You are required to come to the clinic for the semen samples deposit and the egg retrieval/fertilization process if you are using your own eggs and/or sperm. If you are using both egg donor and surrogate, then you will only need to come to USA for semen deposit and then for the delivery of the baby depending on when and where the baby is born.

There are three main steps involved in the egg freezing process. First, you will need a fertility assessment involving blood tests and an ultrasound where your doctor can determine your current fertility status. Next, you’ll inject medications to stimulate your ovaries to grow as many eggs as possible. And the final step in the egg freezing process is the egg retrieval, where we will collect and freeze your eggs.

There is no hard and fast number or rule on how many eggs a woman needs to freeze. This number is usually based on your age, your past gynecological/medical history and your family history. It is individualized and should be determined by your doctor based on your situation.
